When asked by Chappell, a majority of school board members indicated they were in favor of letting current board members continue out their terms. That means only three or four seats will be up for election in May if the plan is approved.

Board members Mike Neil and Tom Neild were the only two who wanted all seven seats to be up for election in May.

Last May, voters chose to change the school board's makeup from seven single-member districts to five single-member districts with two at-large seats. The board drafted a plan with the seven previous districts redrawn into five new districts - which the Department of Justice has 60 days to approve.
